4.5 Costs of Additive Manufacturing

● The technology in the field of generative manufacturing technology is

constantly changing!
● This means that the cost/performance ratio is constantly changing!
● A cost and benefit analysis is necessary for every machining task!

● Costs in the following:

● Status August 2018
● Cost of orders at 3D printing service company
● The absolute costs are indicative values
● The relative costs are comparable
